Rooster is a plugin useful for extracting curves from images; a process commonly known as Vectorization of an image.

The Rooster component is present under the ‘Params’ tab in the ‘Utils’ sub-category.

The component can also output colors extracted from the image for each output curve.

Rooster is now supported by the ShapeDiver Platform!
